A trade print for D. Rosenberg & Sons, a New York firm selling standard carriage varnishes, offers a glimpse of the commercial side of horse-drawn transport. Around 1878, carriages were still a common sight on city streets, and makers of paints and finishes relied on eye-catching printed advertisements to reach carriage builders, painters, and dealers. The record links the piece to a shelflist name, Graphic Co., but that attribution is unverified, so it should be treated with caution. The print was later reproduced in *Viewpoints*, a 1975 Library of Congress selection from its pictorial collections.
